LingQ에서는 지금 각국의 문화에 맞춰 18개 국어로 번역되고 있는 짧은 이야기(mini-stories) 시리즈를 준비하고 있어요. 한국 문화에 맞게 영어를 한국어로 옮기고 해당 이야기의 음성 녹음파일을 만드는 프로젝트에 함께 할 모국어가 한국어인 봉사자를 구하고 있어요. 5개의 레슨을 번역할 경우 LingQ를 두 달 동안 무료로 이용할 수 있는 쿠폰을 드리며, 5개의 레슨에 해당하는 음성 녹음파일을 녹음할 경우 한 달 동안 LingQ를 무료로 이용할 수 있는 쿠폰을 드릴 예정이에요. 영어 실력을 쌓는 데에도 큰 도움이 될 거예요. 참여를 원하신다면 steve(at)lingq(dot)com 으로 메일을 주시거나 이 영상의 댓글로 알려주세요. 이미 진행 중인 LingQ의 짧은 영어 이야기 코스는 이곳에서 확인할 수 있어요. Level 1: https://www.lingq.com/learn/en/web/#/course/263520 Level 2: https://www.lingq.com/learn/en/web/#/course/271393 저희는 100개의 레슨을 목표로 진행 중이며, 가능한 한 다양한 언어의 이야기를 만들 수 있기를 희망해요. *스티브와 한나가 하는 영어습관 채널은 여기로: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZvqNSMb6c05CdY7YH2rVVw We are developing a great series of language learning mini-stories, which are now being translated into 18 languages. We are hoping to find Mandarin Chinese and Japanese native speaker volunteers to help translate from English and record these stories in their native languages. We will give volunteers two free months of LingQ for every five stories translated, and one free month for every five stories recorded. Translating and recording are great ways to practice English. Please contact me at steve(at)lingq(dot)com or leave a comment below if you would like to be a part of the project. Here are the English mini-story courses at LingQ so far. We hope to have 100 in all, translated into as many languages as possible.

In my recent conversation with AJ Hoge of Effortless English we discussed the language learning plateau and what can be done to get over it. We continued our discussion on the topic on AJ's Effortless English podcast, which you can find here: http://effortlessenglishshow.com/mini-story-power-with-steve-kaufman Being on AJ's show has inspired me to start my own podcast. I want to talk to people from all over the world who are passionate about language learning. What have been your most wonderful or frustrating experiences? Why do you learn languages? How do you go about learning them? If you're interested, let me know in the comments.

Is it better not to use the language at all when you start out or dive right in and speak when you know very little?

Make your language learning as easy as you can and you are more likely to stick with it and achieve your goal of fluency. Here's how I make my language learning easy.

I'm finding more and more that it is hugely important to be a patient language learner. Give it time and your target language will eventually become a part of you.

I'm being reminded while I study Greek that I must be patient in my journey to fluency. How do you practice patience in your language learning?

I've spent the past week listening to beginner material narrated quickly, and I now find material that previously seemed fast totally manageable. Force yourself to listen to audio at a regular, native speaker speed and see how fast you progress in your target language.

At LingQ we're developing a course of mini-stories in English. So far we have lessons in two courses: Level 1: https://www.lingq.com/learn/en/web/#/course/263520 Level 2: https://www.lingq.com/learn/en/web/#/course/271393 Learning languages through reading compelling stories is extremely effective, and so we would like to get these mini-stories translated into as many languages as possible and put them up on LingQ.

What's the best way to use lists in language learning? My experience has taught me that the only time lists are useful is when reviewing vocabulary, not for actually learning words and phrases.

Here is my talk with Eva, who is organizing a polyglot conference in Brno this year, in mostly Czech. The Brno event will be great for language lovers. Though I unfortunately won't be able to attend, LingQ is sponsoring.
